Just starting to get into BPC and I think it helps me a lot. There is a lot of talk about it elsewhere on the forums and some mention of it on the giant monthly threads but I thought I'd mention it here for the newbies in case they don't find it.

Its just coffee that you can add you CO or MCT oil in. I find it to be very filling, and it gives me tons of energy. Additionally its another way to add CO to the day which can be hard for me bc I can't eat CO plain yet. I like to add a splash of vanilla.

Today I was feeling a little under the weather, cold coming on... and for some reason being sick always makes me crave carbs.. I just made myself a hot cocoa version of BPC and it really picked me up!

Agree with Brandilynn. Immersion blender makes into a delicious, frothy, whipped coffee drink. Gotta add the grassfed Kerrygold unsalted though! (Or maybe the clarified works too). I add a tablespoon and a half each of the butter & CO and whip it up. It is SO deelish and satisfying/satiating--especially soothing on a cold, rainy day!

And if you want to risk MCT, but are concerned about the health effects of consuming such a refined substance, you can check out the bulletproof executive's web site. He is not 100% aligned with the paleo movement, but has come to many of the same conclusions and probably shares at least some of your concerns. He actually sells, or at least sponsors, a type of MCT.

Check out the previous thread or google BPC for the science behind it. It's real important to have the grassfed butter because it has properties in it that are essential to get the health benefits. You of course can use whatever kind of butter you want but for all the extra calories, younger as well as reap all the benefits from it that you can.

He may have even invented the term "bulletproof coffee".

Hope you feel well soon.

THANKS!
Does anyone know what bulletproof coffee is supposed to mean? the bulletproof part?

Out of Lurkdom, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both sell Kerrygold for $2.99. Crazy thing is that the supermarkets (Giant and Safeway) both sell it for $4.99. I think LC Americans will bring Ireland out of recession-- their cows most be working overtime. I have come a long way on LCHF but the idea of bulletproof coffee still makes me gag. I take shots of MCT oil and I love the fact that it has no taste.

Ah, there is an imported butter product, cannot recall the name off hand, at my local Wal-Mart(s) and it has pictures of cows grazing on grass but I've looked the package over carefully and as far as I can tell it is not butter from grassfed stock.

I just checked out the BPC recipe/website...very interesting. I'm going to try some with the immersion blender for "jollies". ha ha I have some pastured organic butter (says it's only made 3 months out of the year with cows pasturing on grass, so I assume it's good to go).

I am going to drive 2.5 hours to the next state on Tuesday to go to a Trader Joe's! I think Kristn said they have the best coconut cream...anything else I should get besides Kerrygold butter and coconut cream anyone????
